FP&A Manager, Wealth Strategy & Corporate Development

Job summary:

This is a newly created management position combining corporate development and financial planning & analysis for Integrity’s Wealth division. It exists because acquisition volume in the Wealth business has outgrown the capacity of the current FP&A team, and because underwriting an advisory practice requires transaction skills that a traditional FP&A hire is not recruited for. The role is scoped at the manager level because it owns deal workstreams end to end, represents the division directly to sellers and advisors, and carries responsibility for developing analyst talent.

The role carries a defined split of responsibility. Approximately 50% is M&A and corporate development: acquisition modeling, model audit, pipeline management, valuation benchmarking, and direct seller and advisor engagement. The balance is financial planning, analysis, and wealth management strategy, covering budgeting, forecasting, KPI and Board reporting, and competitive and market intelligence.

Let’s talk job responsibilities:

Transaction modeling and analysis

Builds and maintains buy-side acquisition models for wealth management and advisory firms, including purchase price allocation, sources and uses, earnout and contingent consideration structures, equity rollover, and pro forma consolidation.

Audits and rebuilds seller-provided models and adjusted EBITDA bridges; reconciles management projections to quality of earnings findings and normalizes for owner compensation, non-recurring items, and revenue recognition differences.

Produces accretion/dilution, IRR, MOIC, DCF, and payback analyses supporting investment committee recommendations, including the drivers and sensitivities behind each.

Models advisor recruitment and transition assistance economics, including forgivable note structures and payback analysis.

Valuation and capital markets

Develops and maintains valuation benchmarks by tracking comparable transaction multiples across the wealth management, RIA, and broker-dealer landscape, drawing on public comparables, precedent transactions, and private market data.

Monitors cost of capital, credit market conditions, and prevailing deal structures, and advises on how shifting conditions should inform bid strategy and offer construction.

Pipeline management and deal execution

Owns the acquisition pipeline tracker, including deal stage, target metrics (AUM, revenue mix, advisor headcount, growth rate), valuation ranges, probability weighting, and expected close timing; produces recurring pipeline reporting for leadership.

Prepares indicative offers, LOI economics, term sheet summaries, and management presentations.

Coordinates diligence workstreams across finance, legal, compliance, and operations; synthesizes findings into risk and opportunity summaries for decision makers.

Tracks post-close performance against underwriting assumptions, root-causes variances, and applies findings to subsequent deal models.

Business development and counterparty engagement

Participates directly in calls with prospective sellers, advisor teams, and intermediaries, presenting the firm’s value proposition, walking through indicative economics, fielding diligence questions, and maintaining relationships across the deal cycle.

Communicates complex financial concepts credibly to non-financial audiences, including advisors and firm principals.

Team leadership and development

Manages, trains, and develops a team of FP&A Analysts, fostering high performance and accountability.

Assigns and reviews analyst work across both the planning calendar and active deal workstreams, balancing recurring deliverables against transaction deadlines.

Reviews analyst-built models and reporting for accuracy and defensibility before they reach leadership or the investment committee.

Builds analyst capability in transaction modeling and valuation, raising the team’s baseline deal fluency over time.

Financial planning and analysis

Supports the annual planning process for the Wealth division, including budgets, forecasts, and long-range plans, and consolidates business unit inputs.

Partners with department leaders on budget submissions, rolling forecasts, and variance analysis explaining performance against plan.

Produces KPI reporting and root-cause analysis on AUM and net flows, fee realization, advisor productivity, client retention, and margin by channel.

Builds the bridge between organic performance and acquired contribution in consolidated reporting.

Maintains and enhances the FP&A reporting and modeling environment, including OneStream.

Strategy, reporting, and market intelligence

Prepares performance reporting and dashboards supporting monthly business reviews and Board reporting, and supports the Integrity Wealth committee process.

Monitors macroeconomic trends, industry news, and regulatory change affecting wealth management, and translates them into implications for strategy and valuation.

Conducts competitive analysis on products, platforms, and the acquisition strategies of competing aggregators and consolidators.

Performs ad hoc analysis supporting decisions on pricing, resourcing, compensation design, and capital allocation.

Develops reusable templates and model architecture for underwriting, pipeline reporting, and planning to improve speed and consistency.

Demonstrated ability to build three-statement and transaction models from scratch, including purchase accounting, earnout mechanics, and pro forma consolidation.
